-2783 also zeros droplet counts: 14th item is DOT_ K: Total Counts and 15Th: SENS K: drops since near empty.
Fixes NO CARTRIDGE from INK EMPTY: BLACK and lotsa' ink.
That procedure is not in the Service Manual , but droplet counts are mentioned in the
troubleshooting as a cause of those messages .

Mode 11 prints 4 pages of mode 10 soft switch settings with descriptions; mode
82 prints the mode 80 MAINTENANCE log variables.

Setting WSW49 bit 8 of mode 10, prints black only; Adobe has grayscale option
Setting WSW31 bit 4 of mode 10, turns off cartridge sensors, and landscape ability
Printer stops when low ink and spits out partial page; next attempt will do
CLEANING first so be sure ink levels OK.
